I suspect it won't be a negotiation given the power imbalance.
More a case of this is our terms and either you accept or leave.

- ramraj07 5y agoI guess one can leave then? lol. In this market if they have a single digit cohort size they’re gonna be dealing with really good founders who have other options
- lpolovets 5y agoIt's still a pretty founder-friendly market. If you get an offer from a16z, or anyone else: 1) it doesn't hurt to negotiate. Worst case they stand firm. 2) if you get a $1m offer from a16z, chances are you will be able to get competitive offers from other firms too. So it's more about whether you like the partner you're talking to, whether you want to work with a16z or another fund, etc (source: I'm a VC)
